I know its not a big deal but can anyone tell me the best 3 brands for keyboards. I want to get one that will last a while.

MS, Logitech, Fujitsu. IMHO.
I like the softtouch Fujitsu, and for $15 they seem to last forever.

MS is usually more expensive. I usually lean towards Gatway and Logitech keyboards.

I have a NMB that I really like, it's very well built and solid. I also have a few Logitech's. The MS keyboards have a nice feel to them, but I don't own any.

Logitech and MS, don't know a third. I own 2 of each and like the Logitech's just as much as the Microsoft's.

I can't kill this NMB - before I got it I was going through a keyboard every 6 months - this is now over 5 years old and going strong.

I have a Microsoft Natural Multimedia keboard and I love it. Granted, Microsoft is a bit expensive, but the keyboard I have is excellent with Windows XP and being able to pull up media players, my pics, my music, my docs, web, mail, and some other cool stuff. Maybe I am just easily amused and pleased!

I cannot live without my M$ ergonomical keyboard.

Hey, you got one too? Mine is almost 5 years old too. Thing weighs about as much as my 2 Logitech's put together (maybe more). It's solid with really good key tactile "feel"...much better than the Logitech's.

A bit expensive but worth it.

Tuf · 03-18-2003, 07:48 PM

Northgate Omnikeys, Avant, and the IBM model "m" are the best keyboards that I have used.

SimonFF · 03-19-2003, 06:58 PM

Logitech IR! Its the way to go!

dackerman · 03-19-2003, 09:06 PM

I have a memorex keyboard that I got for $10. It's not the best thing in the world but for $10 it rivals the MS and Logitech keyboard. (not the new ones)

Although my W, A, S, D, keys are wearing of beacuse of my repetitive gaming.
